The news columns of the dailies have
recounted two incidents which are of con-
siderable significance. Young John Bar
rett, boy in his teens, in defending his
sister from the assaults of two Italians in
a lonely street in New York city, bravely
faced pistol, received the bullet, and
died as heroically as any soldier on the
field of battle. Second; steam ferry
boat plying between Brooklyn and New
York, carrying a freight of fifteen hundred
souls collided with a tug. A panic en-
sued the men rushed for the
boats and life preservers. aban-
donine the women aud children to what
ever fate might overtake them, thus ex-
employing the most ungallant. cowardly
conduct that is imaginable. The boat did
not sink. No lives were lost but the deeds
OF those men remain monumental to the
decay of that chivalry which once would
have sacrificed life for the weak and de-
fenceless. What about the boy? His deed
will be pyramid of all that was chival-
rous and manly, contrasted with the con-
duct of so many hundred men.

The United Labor party Is not so har-
monious, it is stated, as Mr.. George would
have the public believe. One of the
troubles is that the workers, who have
been told that the Madison Square Garden

this money distributed for campaign ex

claim on it rs the men who make their
living by wire-pulling.

The speeches upon the shipping question
at the recent public meeting in Boston
were generally in the right direction and
worthy of commentator. If good speeches
could improve our shipping affairs they
would soon begin to mend. 1t evidently
is not the want of speeches and good reso-
lutions which prevent revival of bust
ness for our vessels.

The advantages which may accrue to
the people of New Hampshire from the
passage of the Hazen bill must be very
great to compensate them for the expense
that this extra long session of their legis-
lature has created. There is no prospect
of any adjournment, for the Boston II
Maine have succeeded in reconsidering
the vote to adjourn and will endeavor to
pass the bill in some form or other, over
the Governors veto. This kind OF legis-
lation, the bringing. in reality, civil suits
before legislature to be decided, which
ought to have been settled in court, is
most injurious to the interests OF the
State. The members of the legisl AZURE
should be brought to their senses, pass the
usual appropriations and go home. Corpo'
ratious should not be allowed to prosecute
quarrels at the expense OF the people.
Mention has from time to time been made
concerning the reign of terror in the south
ern counties of Indiana, by the depreda-
tons and marauding excursions of the
"White- Caps" an organization which
had for its primal object the dispensing OF
highway robbers but which degenerated
from this worthy purpose to practice OF
the same crimes which they proposed to
punish. During the past week this band
has with an increase of members increased
its offenses and has succeeded in depopu-
lating large districts; it has successfully
detied the State authorities and
routed with fatal results large posses.
Gov. Gray has at last called upon the
United States for protection. since the
federal statutes relating to the suppression
of Ku-Klux will justify government Off
GERS in prosecuting the 'White Caps" 1t
makes no difference however, how this
band is punished. The State should have
put every member behind iron bars before
this.

A Case Of True Love.

Chattanooga, Tenn, 22.-James
Vandegriff and Miss Nellie Nixon
were raised in the northern portion
of this county, and their childhood
friendship ripened into love when
they grew older. Several months
ago, when they expressed a desire
to wed, Miss Nixon's parents refused
to give their consent. The eoupIe
then decided to elope, but the
watchfal eye of the girl S father and
brother always prevented.
Last night Miss Nixon slipped out
of her room and joined her lover,
and they fled to the residence Of a
minister. While he was in the
midst of the ceremony, the brother
of the girl, who had discovered her
flight, rushed in and stopped the
marriage. The couple rushed out
mo the dark ness and eluded the
angry brother. Miss Nixon had
lost her shoes in SINE way, but she
walked with her lover distance OF
eleven miles baretooted, and reach
ed Chattanooga at 3 a. vi. a minis
ter was found and married the cou
pie a minute before the pursuing
brother came up.

Views Of a Republican.

Thomas Mast, the celebrated ar
fist Of Harper's Weekly, is, and
always has been, pronounced Re
publican. He went to Jacksonville
Fla, short time ago, and in pas
sing through Washington, stopped
to call on the President. He is a
genial, honest, whole-so uled man."
says Mr., Mast, and adds
"When the mugwumps voted for
him three years ago Cleveland was
an experiment; now he IS a proved
success. Besides, the thousands of
business men in the north who were
afraid to trust the Democrats with
power, have been won over by the
conservative, safe and successful
administration All fears about the
Democratic party revolutionlzing
the financial affairs and overturning
the established institutions and
wreeking the government, have
happily been dissIpat ed. The solid
business men will support Cleveland
because he has demonstrated his abb
ity to serve the whole country. My
opinion is that Cleveland will lie
nominated, and that he will be tri-
umphantly elected, One thing is
certain, l will Go all l can for HIM.
1 will support him Vigorously"

There are two periods in life dur
ing which habits are formed. Be-
tween the ages Of 90 and 80 is a
period in which professional habits
are formed and during which the
mind is shaped and moulded to til G
profession. But while this is a very
critical period, vet the period below
20is no less important. The fixing
of personal habits, such as pronun-
citation, carriage, address, gesture,
tone Of voice. and facial expression,
Is done under 20. As a proof, take
youth who has spent his first 90
years in untutored society, and
transfer him to the society Of his
superiors. and the associations of
that higher society never will unIearn
the vices of speech and manners
bred in him during his growing
years.
Again, below the goth year is the
golden time for fixing habits ofin-
dustry. Ifsloth fixes It's grip in toy
hood or girlhood, it is hard TO shake
of in manhood and womanhood.
Tie great thing, then, in all edu-
cation is to make automatic and
habltual, during early life, ali those
actions which will develop us into
noble and useful manhood, and to
guard carefully against those things
" hich will likely prove a dlsadvan.

Habits rule us With absolute des-
potlsm. There isno more cruel tyrant
But habit is a NEST excellent tyrant,
If it be of the right order
Let our teachers be careful with The

The Saturday Half Holiday Law
Enforced in New York.

New York, May 21.-The Sat-
urday half-holiday was generally
complied with to-day. In the af-
ternoon there was a general cessa-
ton Of business and the down town
streets had a Sunday appearance.
When the law was first proposed
there was considerable opposition to
it, but now that it has become a
law the greater portion of those who
opposed it are in favor of closing
their places of business and giving
their clerks a rest. All the exchang-
es adjourned at neon, but sew eral
of them kept their doors open fer
the use of members.
The police court clerks were jubi-
liant when they were notified that
the Judges had agreed to observe the
Saturday half-nolid y. The state
courts closed prom thy at II o'clock
The sherif's, county clerks, surro-
gates, registers and district attor-
ney's Offices were all deserted. The
city departments were closed, with
the exception Of the mayors Office.
The mayor will stay at work until
o'clock. He will then attend the
reception givenby Mrs. Hewitt to
Queen Kaplelani. The mayor was
besleged all day by concert garden
keepers, who wanted licenses sc
that they could sell beer and have

chambers were open and motions

RIVERS AND L AXES,

One of the great attractions oI
Idaho is found in the rivers and
streams which abound in our Terri
toy, with few exceptions, IN the
Southeastern portion OF Idaho,
whose water flows into the basin Of
the Great Salt Lake, The river
system of Idaho is entirely tributa-
nv to the Great Columbia River.
Smoke River rises in the Rocky
Mountains, ia Northwestern Wyom~
ing, near the head waters of the
Yellowstone, at an elevation of over
5000 feet, and alter traversing
through Idaho, Oregon, and WASH
ington Territory for more than 1000
miles, also deposits its waters IN
the mighty Columbia, and along
a great distance it is very doubtful
if one pore Of the sand or earth along
its banks can be found that does rot
contain gold, and the same may be
said of nearly all its trib utarles.
Snake River, arter dashing over
precipices, rolling through dense

rugged mountains of the wild

Mr.. EDIToR:-Of late [ have re-
ceived numerous letters from par
ties asking me to give them a de-
scription of Idaho Territory. If you
will allow me space IN your vaIua-
bic paper, I will write a general
letter as L cannot write to each in :
dividual.
Idaho was created by the act Of
March 3rd, 1868, from parts of
Dakota, Nebraska. and Washing
ton Territories. As originally con-
stituted 1t embraced 326, 1873 square
miles, including all the present
Territory of Montana and large
portion Of Wyoming. In 1858 Idaho
was reduced to its present domin>
ions. The length Of Idaho from
North to South IS 40 miles, and
the width from East to West varier
from go to 800 miles, and contains
$4,000 square miles or about 3d.
100000 acres. These lands ale de-
fined as agricultural, desert, mining
and timber lands, but as yet, through
the lack of Government surveys,
the exact quantity of each kind can
only be approximated. The near
est classification of the land thus far
is as follows: That which may be
considered suited for agricultural
purposes IN its natural state, To-
100000. that which is capable of
being reclaimed by irrigation 49,
600, 900; the natural pasturage or
grazing land will reach 100000
acres, there are about 100000
acres of timber and mineral lands,
and about 100000 acres of noun
tain, desert, and volcanic formation
destitute of mineral, timber and
vegetation, and comparatively
worthless.

Some Definitions; Not by Webster


Pity, denotes an inequality of con-
dition, and is a fraudulent effort at
equalization by bogus restitu-
ton.
Sympathy, is half brother to
pity; but makes a closer approach
to equality by having in It's veins a
large infusion of the love principle
Love, is the equalizer, honest,
upright, beautiful, giving freely,
taking freely, on the dead level OF
perfect reciprocity.
Anger, IS the prompt, fiery friend
that breaks up old, solidifed eondi-
tons, sending the person up TO ne
er and better ones.
Martyrdom, an obsolete word
which once meant dying for free
dom. We live for freedom now.
Patience, hitching post to which
social ignolamuses permit themselves
TO be chained, While the I'M Inpatient
and restless rape the world and rake
every advantage into their own en-
closures,
Veneration, a superstitious awe
tor something in which we are bank
rupt ourselves; therefore an mag
mary virtue; figment Of empty
heads; or, at best the faint fore-shad
owing OF the manhood Of The man.
Endurance, also obsolete. The
man who in this age and generation
when sm1tten on ole cheek turns
the other, places himself IN a posi-
ton for the exercise of the boot
vamp, and the worlds verdict is
"served him right"
